The spot each team is in
Every game on Wednesday 11 November 2026: who played last night, who has three games in four nights, the trip since the last game, long road trips, the spread, and the referees with how their games have gone. Tired legs, blowouts and whistles all move minutes and numbers.

How to read it
- Back-to-back (the second night of two) and 3 games in 4 nights: coaches rest players and trim minutes, and legs are heavier, especially after a flight.
- Long trips: the distance between the arenas of the last game and tonight's, and the time zones crossed.
- Big favourites and underdogs (a spread of 10 or more): if the game gets away, starters sit in the fourth quarter, which hurts overs on their props.
- Referees: points and free throw attempts per game in the games each one worked over this season and the last, against the league's average in the same games (4 games, 225 points and 51.8 free throw attempts a game). Shown from 10 games. A whistle-heavy crew means more free throws for players who draw fouls.
